You're right—plea deals are common in the U.S. But applying that logic here is misleading, because this isn’t a routine case. It isn't comparable to the majority of criminal cases.
This was a premeditated quadruple homicide. There was overwhelming evidence.
Men have been sentenced to death in...
Exactly. Idaho law outlines several aggravating factors that qualify a defendant for the death penalty — and this case meets multiple:
The murders created a great risk of death to many people
They were especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel
They were committed during the commission of a...
Respectfully snipped by me. Sociopaths and psychopaths often present as soft-spoken or calm, but that’s part of the mask. It’s not fragility—it’s manipulation. They aren’t broken. They’re calculated.
But a mistrial is always a risk in any criminal case. So is the possibility of a not-guilty verdict. That’s not a valid reason to sidestep a trial — it’s part of the process. You don’t abandon due process just because the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this ever since the plea deal was announced.
A lot of people here are focused on wanting a full confession—details about what happened, why he did it, what led up to it.
But that’s not justice. Justice isn’t a few answers handed out after the fact—it’s a process...
Capital punishment is a lawful sentencing option in Idaho. When a crime meets the statutory threshold for death eligibility—as this one clearly does—removing it pre-trial undermines the principle of pursuing justice to the fullest extent of the law. Prosecuting to the full extent means applying...
The idea that Bryan Kohberger will be respected or treated well in prison shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how prisons actually work.
Prison has a strict social order. Respect isn’t earned through media coverage, IQ scores, or academic credentials—it’s built on gang affiliation...
Nah. Prisons are full of gang members and murderers, yes, but not someone like Kohberger who committed a quadruple homicide for "no reason." Nobody respects that. He won't fit in, he's not affiliated and he has zero street smarts. Throw in his very strange demeanor, and I think the other inmates...
Respectfully, I don't think that the other inmates will value Kohberger. There are likely inmates inside with more legal knowledge than him, someone who hasn't slaughtered four kids. JMO
I feel for the families. They should've been included in the decision some how. IMO, they're the ones who have suffered the most from this terrible tragedy, aside from the victims.
IMO Kohberger may receive some form of "prison justice". I bet they'll have to keep him in a seperate unit, or on...
After rechecking the address, I can confirm there isn't a railway bed directly behind the home as I originally thought. That was my error.
However, there is what looks to be a cleared utility corridor ("pipeline trail") about 40–60 meters behind the Sullivan home. Please correct me if I'm...
Thank you for pointing this out — and you're absolutely right. I just double-checked using Google Earth (coordinates for 1407 Gairloch Rd) and realized I had initially misjudged the coordinates.
It does seem unlikely that someone could emerge from that direction without significant effort or...
Thank you for the clarification.
CBC reported in a June 19th article that the "families" brought the emergency responders to the "piece of blanket."
I took it to mean that it was shown to first responders by the mother or step-father. Thoughts?
